Hush..
Donald Trump became the first former American president to be convicted of felony crimes Thursday as a New York jury found him guilty of all 34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to a porn actor who said the two had sex.
This was a rigged, disgraceful trial,” an angry Trump told reporters after leaving the courtroom. “The real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people.
Opinion:
Were the NY jury faire to this accused?
Was the timing ( before presidential election ) fare to the American people?
Did the jury properly discuss a 34 count in such a short period of time and reached a beyond a reasonable doubt?
With the Money donation to President Trump exceeded 55 Million dollars in such a short time an indication one way or another?
Just a thought.
Chile..
Chile has joined a group of nations supporting a genocide case against Israel filed last year at the International Court of Justice.
President Gabriel Boric said in a speech to lawmakers Saturday that he was appalled by the humanitarian devastation in Gaza, especially against women and children. He accused the Israeli army of using "indiscriminate and disproportional" force.
Chile joins a group of mostly developing countries including Mexico, Brazil and Indonesia that has rallied behind South Africa's petition.

Salt..
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly one in two adults in the U.S. has high blood pressure. Considering that high blood pressure is one of the biggest risk factors for heart disease—the leading cause of death in the U.S.—this statistic is pretty alarming. High blood pressure also goes hand-in-hand with high LDL cholesterol, which 75 percent of heart attack and stroke survivors reported having, according to new data from the American Heart Association.
The main source of sodium is salt and the reason why it negatively impacts blood pressure is because salt makes the body hold onto water. This extra water in the body puts pressure on blood vessel walls, raising blood pressure.
Dr. Karishma Patwa, MD, a cardiologist with Manhattan Cardiology and contributor to LabFinder.com, says that many people don’t realize all the places sodium can be hidden. This includes frozen meals, condiments, sauces, canned soups and fast food. Minimizing processed foods such as these is the best way to minimize the amount of sodium in your diet. Just a thought.
